Then the girl broadens the grin u little
bit and the masher broadens his smile
too. Gradually they approach each
other and the " masher" asks permission
to explain some object Of interest. That
settles it. They become acquainted and
the filtration commences in real cara
est. Sometimes the young lady gets lost
from her folks and they do not see her
for several days. Then she ~rejoins them
and tells them of how she got lost and
how she has been trying to find them
all the time and they believe itall. But
they usually take that girl back to her
country home US soon as possible. But
she is never happy again Until she re:
turns to Washington. either On q visit
or for good.
The clerks in the dead letter Office are
under the eyes Of detectives all Of the
time. These detectives are unknown to
the employees and are fellow clerks with
them. 1t is impossible for them to pur-
loin anything from the letters that they
handle. They cannot v e waste their
time, but must work, work, work.
Nevertheless there are a few Of them
who manage to find time enough to hold
flirtations with the fellows across the
way. On the opposite side of the street
is the patent Office, an immense marble
building, and it is full of men VIC like
to flirt. Moreover, the sidewalks are
always crowded with idle fellows who
want to catch the fool females. Result,
the detective clerks are watching the
other clerks and there will be trouble
soon unless these firtations stop. Worst
of all, some of these detective clerks are
women. They are more anxious to
catch their sisters in wrong dong than
they would be to detect the men. Wo
man is always woman's worst enemy.
Spring, gentle spring, is here again.
There isn't a sign of snow, wind or rain.
The melancholy days have gone, the sad
dest of the year, when snow and ice and
coal high priced, make the pocket book
feel drear. Bugeies, phaetons. ~landeaus,
barouches and landaulets line the ave-
nues and asphalt paved streets. Wealth
is not better displayed in any manner by
the free use of street conveyances. In
no city in America car one find so many
elegant and comfortable private turn
outs as in Washington.
Society has been "deader'n a door

are alive with happy faces. OF all the

Drouth on winter Wheat.

CHICAGO, April 10.-The weekly crop
summary Of The Farmers Review says
complaints of drouth now come from
all parts of the winter wheat belt, and
are especially numerous in Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. In
nearly every county Of Illinois reports
indicate that the ground is dry. and to-
gether with the prevalence Of cold winds
has retarded the growth and has caused
some injury to the growing grain.

CHICAGO, November 3o.-The Ma
tional Central Committee OF tie Prohl-
bit,ou party met to day in Battery ID
Armory. There were pr,bably 500 per
sons present during the day. The
principal objects OF the meeting were to
select a successor to the late John b.
Finch, chairman OF the committee to
select a time and place for the holding
of the national convention, and to dis
cuss ways aud means for carrying on
the campaign. The treasurer's report
showed that 81, 900 had been paid out for
Governor 1t. Johns campaign expenses.
The National Committee as arranged en-
braces l.. 6. Calisin, OF Alabama Rev.
+. L. Watkins, OF North Carolina; j.
w. Smith, of Tennessee B. Crautill, of
Texas and Frank Burt aud J. ID. Carl
cadden, of West Virginia. No other
southern State 10 represented in the list
furnished for publication. The meeting
was more like q Sunday school cOnvcn~
ton than a political gathering until
discussion arose on q motion 10
make Mrs. Laurence Lord L.
GAL delegate from the State of
Georgia. Georgia was not represented
EXCEPT by this lady, who has been in
Chicago for three months, and who has
caused many TO think she he'd changed
her I, sldence The subject was brought
up by Mrs. Lori herself, requesting that
she be appointed a member of the
National Committee. Agallant memb-r
OF the committee made a motion 10 that
effect, which Immediately plunged the
meeting into a turbulent discussion.
Some insisted that there was no Prohi-
bition party in Georgia, and therefore
nothing to be represented others
were la favor OF admitting the lady be-
cause she was a woman and took 50
much interest in the work.

to secure her appointment, but just as
the discussion looked as il it would
never end the motion was laid on the
table without beng voted.
At the afternoon session Samuel
Dickey, OF Albion, Mich, was elected
chairman to succeed Mr.. Finch, and it
WAS decided to hold the national con-
yention during the first week in June,

Mr. Kenny, an eminent Catholic bar

as an insidious misnomer, simply mean
ing the dismembcrment of the empire
and the utter ruin of Ireland. The agi-
tation, he said had already destroyed
Irish trade and ruined Irish credit, but
there were hopeful symptoms that the
people were beginning Ia find ont the
real tendencies Of the agitators' work.
Mr. Goschen. who responded, said the
time for anybody being neutral toward
the separatists had passed. No truce
should be allowed with the party of Sc
ditlou These demonstrations, showing
that the most important part OF Ireland

convince England and the world that the

William Walsh, Of Alappsburg, was
